President Van Buren's son, famillarly
known as Prince John, was man Of
great natural ability, q good lawyer and
ready wit. On one occasion he had
taken some technical legal advantage by
which his opponents client in an action
was non-suited. The man was furious,
and declared his purpose to give John a
piece of his mind when he saw him; he
would wither him. Happening to see
John one day at Downing's, standing at
the bar, he boldly confronted the Prince,
and being a small man, looked up at him
fiercely and burst out "Mr. Van Buren,
is there any client so low and mean, or
any case so nasty that you won't under
take to defend him in it?" 81 don't

The President a Serious Mdn--Hdrd-
WorLed and Hard Working.

lIaaosoa IN The C0wier-Jom7,d.
The President is a less reserved and
more sociable man than | had been i'll
the habit of thinking him. He is at
once exact and exacting, but there is
beneath his unmistakable business-like
purpose and exterior doughtiness of
spirit and an engaging candor which
come out strong for very little provoca-
ton, and which save his manners from
severity. Genial is hardly the word to
describe the sunny side Of him, for he is
serious man and hardworked and
hardworking man. But he has the gift
of appreciation, simple schoolboy love
of fair play, and rcpose altogether un-
affected and complete. He has an unde-
niable genius for command, and, for one
of so little ostentation, is the most un-
promising subject of familiarity imagina-
bic. His weight and reach of brain
have perhaps never been tested or meas
ured. He has yet to put forth his full
mental powers and resources. Time
which devclopes, can only disclose the ma
ture and extent of these. But there is
one thing about him which nothing can
obscure, which shows itself in all he says
and does, and which is blazoned upon all
his aspects. That is character.
There is nothing dramatic or sensational
about him. He has not, like so many pol
iticians, long conscience and short mem
ory. His hates and his loves are few, posi-
tive, and sincere. He has shown himself
abundantly able to say NO." and yet, as
have seen him, no man has ivelier wish
to crafty the wishes of others. He wants
to do the right thing and the kindly thing,
and there is not the smallest doubt that
since his election he has been inspired by
the truest spirit of justice and the most
conscientious sense of duty, equally loyal
to his great place and to his party, asking
no favors and looking to his work to vindi-
cate itself.

WIFEHOOD.

To be decked rs a bride is,
Orange bloom in my hair
To be wed, as maids pride is,
BY altar with prayer;
Side by side, hand to hand, with him,
As his chosen, TO stand with him,
So happy, so grand with him,
Was it not thing rare?
To think of him always,
Ny gold without alloy,
To meet him in Railways,
About my employ;
At his beck wing to him,
Talk with him, sing to him,
Walk with him, bring to him
Each grief and each joy.
To have him, my own one,
Possession enough.
To have him, enthrone one
Over all of the stuff.
To feel myself one with him,
Till shall set life's sun with him.
However stream run with him,
Smooth current or rough.
With him to be seated
At the table / spread;
With praise to be greeted
For butter or bread
Life's loof there to break with him,
Life's rage there to take with him,
Life's future to make with him,
My lord and my head
To dream with his dreaming,
To see with his eyes,
To schome with his scheming,
Be wise as he's wise;
Linked for woe and veal with him,
All life's changes to feel with him,
Night and morning to kneel with him,
Facing the same skies.
Great grows the wonder
As round rolls each year;
God joined, naught can sunder,
Whether there, whether here;
Up life'S hill to climb with him,
To keep step and time with him,
As bells chime to chime with him,
With note soft and clear.
The wonder still greater
And growing more sweet,
That God the Creator
No life can defeat
That | should be made for him,
That | should have stayed for him,
Helpmeet, hand-maid for him.

A California Snake Story.

This eastern bo0m-I mean the boom
made by eastern people with money-has
started up some of the old dead industries
of California. With the easy progress
of civilization the good old industry of
lying had almost died out. 1t got dis
couraged, and SO many wonderful things
had happened elsewhere that it was hard
for the California imagination TO meet the
necessities. 1t was easier to give up ly-
ing to strangers altogether, for even the
most untraveled 'easterner could ring the
bell on the California guide or stage dri-
yer. These gentry are now awakening
from their lethargy and beginning to
make the Yosemite and other trips lively.
A friend of mine from the east has just
come back from the Yosemite, and relates
his experience. The stage driver found
out that he was seriously afraid of snakes
and Immediately proceeded to make his
hair stand on end.
"Venomous reptiles? You bet. don't
know what reptiles is, but them snakes
you can just bet your life is venomous.
Why, one day was comm down here
drivin' a wagon when | catches sight of
snake in the brush, all ready for Il
spring. My horse starts and whips 'em
up fast to clear the snake, don't you see,
afore he could spring. He makes one
clear spring, the snake does, and he mis-
ses the horses"
"That was lucky-but you-you-'
Lucky You bet your life ii was
lucky. He missed the horses, the snake
did, but he stuck his fangs clean through
the wagon"
-"You don't say"
81 do say, and mebbe you won't believe
it, but its fact: he stuck his fangs
clean through that wagon, and thatwagon
it swelled all up so bad that we had to
leave it by the wayside and take the
horses home."-.Sdn Francisco Chronicle.
Here's redheaded girl and there's a
white horse" remarked well known sport
ing man who was recently walking down
Broadway with New York Sun reporter.
"What DO you mean ?" he was asked.
Didn't you ever hear that before? Every
time you meet red headed girl you see a
white horse"
Half Il block further another red headed
girl was met.
"Where's your white horse now?" asked
the reporter.
"Therc's one turning the next corner" "
he replied And sure enough, around tn c
corner clme white horse drawing dray
"Thcy never fail, tell you. have been
saying Here's red-beaded girl and there's
white horse for fifteen years. I've never
got left yet"
After parting, the reporter met one more
red-headed girl, and after looking for the
white horse was not surprised to see cal
pass drawn by two of them.
